AS Roma Match Day Guide - New and Updated!

169 Upvotes

We only have one rule in this subreddit, match day/ticket threads are NOT allowed. The reason for this is that the subredit is not here to be your personal Q&A, it is here to generate discussion between Roma fans. As a sub, we're tired answering the same question over and over and over and over and over again especially since you can solve your own problems with a quick Google search. To make the process simpler for you, we created a thread (which is stickied at the top of the sub) with some common FAQs. Over time, most of the things became outdated and many people asked for a new version. In reality, Roma already made quite a few FAQ posts themselves but since people seem unable to Goggle, I think its time to create a new and updated version of the old thread but instead of creating FAQs ourselves, we will just copy Roma's FAQs so in the event that it goes down we will still have a copy. While we can't guarantee that this data is 100% correct, it is the closest to correct that you will ever be.

Here goes. (There are also some recommendations about some bars/attractions at the end of this post)

Article 2

https://www.asroma.com/en/news/2017/3/tickets-q-a-the-frequently-asked-questions-about-watching-a-roma-home-game

Interested to coming to Rome to watch an AS Roma home game, but not really sure where to start? Here are answers to a few common questions that might help you out...

There are few more iconic and exciting venues around the world to watch a game of football than at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.

A stadium of significant history – having hosted both the 1990 World Cup final, four European finals (including the 2009 Champions League) and, of course, the 1960 Olympic Games – the 70,000-seater stadium is one of the most historic in Europe.

Thousands of fans every year make the trip to the Eternal Capital to watch the Giallorossi in action – here we answer a few common questions supporters have as they plan a trip.

Can overseas visitors buy match tickets?

Yes, fans from around the world are able to buy tickets for Roma matches – both in advance and, barring some rare exceptions, on the day of matches.

For European games and cup ties, there will occasionally be a pre-sale that is only open to fans who own a season ticket, but all games reach general sale in the week(s) prior to kick-off.

When do tickets for games go on sale?

Tickets generally go on sale for home matches between three and four weeks before the game, although this can vary depending on the significance of the fixture and the part of the season (ticket information for games at the very start and end of the campaign are often announced in a batch, while knockout cup ties can be finalised fewer than two weeks in advance).

How much do tickets generally cost?

Again, the price of tickets varies based on specific details about the match – including the competition it is in and the opponent being faced. Generally, however, tickets in the two ‘Curva’ (Sud and Nord, behind either goal) are priced from €25-€35 while the prices for tickets in either ‘Tribuna’ (sideline stands Monte Mario and Tevere) range from €45-€100.

Additionally, tickets that include hospitality options are available.

Where can I buy tickets?

Tickets can be bought online, over the phone and at the various sales points around the city. Look below for more specific information:

I’m buying from overseas…

The best option is asroma.com. Fans can select tickets based on price and area of the ground.

Alternatively, call or email the AS Roma box office (enquiries can be dealt with in English):

Email: abbonamenti@asroma.it Phone: +39 (0)68 938 6000

I’m in Rome now and I want to get a ticket…

Along with the above options, match tickets can be bought at the many AS Roma Stores around the city.

Via Appia Nuova 130, Tel. +39 0677590664 - 10.00/18.00.

Tickets are also usually still available on matchday from the Foro Italico ticket office near the ground. However it is best to check in advance, or arrive at the ground a few hours before kick-off to ensure you can purchase a ticket.

What documentation do I need to have?

To purchases tickets you will need to have some form of I.D. on you - either to enter you details when completing an online or telephone purchase, or to show when buying in person at one of the sales points around the city.

This is also the case if you are buying for friends or family at the same time - you will need to present their I.D. to complete the purchase.

You should also make sure to bring I.D. with you to the ground, as these are often checked against the information registered to each ticket before entrance is permitted.

Click here for further information on the stadium rules and regulations; https://www.asroma.com/en/tickets/stadium-rules

Which area of the ground is it best to watch from?

That depends purely on the experience you want to have. Traditionally the Curva Sud is the area where most season ticket holders and regular supporters opt to sit, which means both these tickets often offer the most passionate match-day experience and can sell out.

The Curva Nord, in contrast, often has significant matchday availability as the traditional Lazio end of the ground.

Tribuna Tevere and Monte Mario both offer great sideline views of the match, with the Tevere containing dedicated areas for families and those with disabilities. Monte Mario, on the same side as the two dugouts, contains the various hospitality options available on matchday.

Options for families and disabled supporters are available in certain parts of the ground.

How do I get to the ground on matchday?

This largely depends on where you are coming from! The nearest metro stop to the Stadio Olimpico is Ottaviano (Line A - heading towards Battistini from Rome Termini). From here it is around a 30-minute walk to the ground, while the 32 bus from outside the station will take you most of the way.

Be warned, however, as the closer to kick-off it gets the busier the bus becomes.

Plenty of other buses serve the ground in all directions. Alternatively, the No. 2 tram from Flaminio tube station (near Piazza del Popolo) stops at Mancini, from where it is a short walk over the Tiber to get to the Olimpico.

Others

(From original thread)

While you in Rome, you might have some downtime before the game, but fear not, that’s plenty of things to do in Rome. Besides the usual Colosseo/Vatican tours, here’s a list of recommendations for you to do.

  • Kick back with a pint. Rome offers a lot of great bars, so if you’re into sports and a well served stout I recommend you go check out Scholar’s Lounge http://www.scholarsloungerome.com . It’s an irish pub just less that a minute from Piazza Venezia. And even though their homepage may be outdated, they show every sport that you can imagine on one of their 15+ screens, with karaoke and live music every week. As a side note, this is the go to bar, for Pallotta and Zanzi everytime they in rome and you might meet them here! (I even met some Roma players there before!)

If you're into the more casual drinking http://finneganpub.com may be a better place. Roma's Testaccio area is also known for it's clubs if that's more your style.

  • Eating! Obviously Rome has some very very good places for consumption. As a guideline, avoid the openly places with lot of tourists and waiters nearly pulling your shirt to get you in. These are in general very generic and just in if for a quick buck. I’d say take a stroll around town and find the little restaurants on the small side streets, and you’ll be in for a treat. If it’s not you cup of tea to walk around too much, I recommend you go to Campo de Fiori then. http://www.bedandbreakfastroma.com/it/Forno_Campo_de_Fiori/ - It’s a lively market during the day, and restaurants and bars doing the evening. To me this place just got the right mix of tourists and natively Italy to make it an exciting experience.

  • Walking! Rome is a city full of hidden gems. Just next of Circo Massimo, you'll find Aventino (Aventine Hill) which is one of the ancient hills Rome was build on, according to legends. Asides from being just a historical place, there's a little gate near the top of the hill. I won't spoil it but you should probably take a look through the keyhole. If that is not enough for you, the nearby church has a little garden where people tend to lay in the grass and just chill. You also happen to get an excellent view of Roma from here too. Rome also has some of the most beautiful gardens. Both Villa Ada and Villa Borghese are large and very beautiful.

  • The beach! Depending on whenever you arrive, you might want to go to the beach to relieve yourself from the hot weather. You can take the metro to Pyramide and from there a Train to Ostia which will bring you to a lovely beach.

Hey guys I know it’s the longest shot in the world. I am from Rome and supported Roma since always.
I have been living in Manchester for the past few years now and I wanted to see the game at Old Trafford with all my heart but away tickets didn’t even make it to the free sale this time.
I’m desperately looking for tickets for this champions league game. I’ve even tried to get in touch with the Roma accounts but no luck there.

Any help or anybody you guys can direct me to at least. I’m really looking everywhere with no luck.
Thanks in advance and daje Roma daje!

Extremely proud of our Tifosi and the tribute they paid to Mourinho.

76 Upvotes

Yesterday's game was about two things. Paying the tribute to the man who brought the passion back to this club and showing that we can compete with teams like Real Madrid without fear (sine metu).

The first part... Tifosi delivered more than expected and that part was more important for me, than the end result.

Regarding the end result - compare the players and the aerial threat of the players that were finishing the game for Roma nad the ones that were finishing the game for Real. The difference with the quality is simply overwhelming.

It's never nice to lose, but we can be really proud of what our players did for 75-80 minutes. We were finishing the game without Svilar, Mancini, Hermoso, Kone, Cristante - all of them would be helpful while defending corners, and Dybala who'd probably help with maintaining the ball.

It's all the process. We just came back to the Champions League and we were a difficult rival for the ultimate end boss of that competition. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Yesterday we showed that we belong in the Champions League.


r/ASRoma • • 1d ago

Would you rather have gone to the UEL, with an important probability of at least going to the semifinals and competing for winning the whole thing, or the UCL qualification like currently?

0 Upvotes

I will personally say that for the growth of the club in the long term, UCL's income,prestige and the evaluation of these players at the highest level, Champions League is the better stage, obviously.

BUT, UEL is still a major European trophy, something that we still lack, and more importantly, this years' UEL is truly EMBARASSING. Like i'm not joking, if Juventus and Milan, more so Juventus due to depth, don't end up winning it, they should retire their club.

And you know , Gasperini already steamrolled everyone once, including Liverpool and 51 games unbeaten, Bundesliga Champions Leverkusen.

Roma Happened™

Jubilation to utter dejection in just a few minutes. I can't recall an implosion as painful and senseless as this in my many years of watching this Roma.

Through thick and thin, in victory and defeat, in times of joy and sadness, our love for this club will endure. I'll never stop trusting our players and I'll never stop loving this club.

DAJE ROMA 🔴🟡

No sane manager would keep Molina on the pitch for 90 minutes.

66 Upvotes

Holy fuck.. I believe in you Gasperini, I trust you, I'm grateful for everything you're doing.. but HOLY FUCK! Was he even watching the same game?

What an absolutely disastrous performance from Molina... Misplaced passes, giving the ball away in dangerous areas, and offering absolutely nothing defensively. Hermoso had to shoulder the entire burden on the left side of the defence on his own throughout the match, particularly when dealing with Endrick. Where was Molina? How can a player like him stay on the pitch for 90 minutes?

I won't single out any one player and hold him responsible for the defeat, but this could have been avoided with greater discipline out wide. You have Rensch and Lulli on the bench, or even Ghilardi in a worst-case scenario.

I've said it in previous matches, and I'll say it again: nobody in the world understands Gasperini's substitutions, not even the players themselves.

Hot take

62 Upvotes

I know we just lost, and it is extremely painful and the sadness is real. However, for around 80 minutes our team showed that we can beat anyone in the world, even Real Madrid. It was the subs that ruined it, but better recruitment can happen. It was the willpower and determination from our starting 11 (plus Pisilli) that showed who Roma are and I'm still proud of us. Daje!

Happy but sad with Roma performance

18 Upvotes

Watching the game, I wouldn't even dream of that performance against Madrid. Scoring 3 goals against Madrid is already an achievement.

We lost to 3 corners which I would say, bad luck. We keep getting equalized or came back. Vs Juventus last season, vs Inter, and now vs Madrid.

I hope we can identify what is lacking in defense.

I am still proud with Roma and the progress. We can be better and better.

Stamina Analysis

10 Upvotes

I don’t know if you guys noticed, but the quality of football is amazing in this Roma side. It’s very intense and the reason why we lost yesterday mostly was because the team stamina I was over. Yes there’s been bad substitutions and casting mistakes like Molina but remember by the 75th minutes they seem just stopped running as much and even at end of the first half as well it’s a very intense play.
So yeah, we can definitely say that it was unfortunate XYZ happened corners happened but mostly what I see the side that plays very well and good football, but is a bitch for physically in terms of the stamina

Next 3 games...

11 Upvotes

After watching today I truly think we have a starting 11 (except LB) up there with the best teams in Europe. From minute 0-45 and 50-80 we are exceptional but we can be disastrous right after half and in closing matches. Hopefully gasp can fix this tactically and possibly we can add some depth in the window. It's really early in the season still but I think our next 3 games will heavily indicate what caliber of team we will be deep in the season

  1. Genoa- a must win to recover form and mentality after today. Lost to them last time and de rossi will want to win back to back. We also have an extremely depleted squad for this one. No malen, dybala?, kone?, cristante, svilar. This is a chance to prove we can win with our rotation lineup the same way inter can. A scudetto contending team must beat bottom table teams every time

  2. Slovan- a must win to break the deadlock of 8 years since a ucl win. Also a must win to have a realistic chance of getting out of the group. I think once we pick up a win in ucl we will gain momentum and not seem like we're almost scared to win important games. A win here and it will be much easier to beat utd and sporting

  3. Napoli- will show whether or not we're serious contenders. Assuming we win the first 2, we'd be in good form with hopefully some key players recovered. A must win to change the mentality that we can't beat top teams in the league that I think we've had since 3-1 juventus last season


r/ASRoma • • 3d ago

What did I just watch… 😓

21 Upvotes

I am still in shock. The game changed when Kone got injured, but even then somehow we managed to go up 3-1. Then Pellegrini came on and not that the individual goals were his fault, but our entire play fell into pieces with him on the pitch.

Molina was horrible in defense. Our set piece defensive concentration is terrible.

I would’ve been OK with a point as it would’ve helped us for qualification, but even that would’ve been disappointing after being up by two goals.

Dybala has made more chances than anyone in Serie A and he still hasn’t scored

Post image
46 Upvotes

Dybala’s on 25 key passes in six league games. Nobody in Serie A has more (Calò at Frosinone is next on 24), and it’s about a quarter of all Roma’s chances.

Funny detail: Dybala hasn’t scored yet. 4 assists though. He made 55 key passes all of last season and he’s already on 25.

Six games is early. Is this the best he’s played for Roma? Thoughts ?
